Had such a great meal at Toro Boston! The bourbon n vodka cocktails were so good and paired perfectly with the food.
The smoked eggplant, corn, and yellowtail were all excellent—each dish was packed with flavor, and we honestly didn't have a single thing we didn't enjoy.
And definitely don't skip dessert. The cheese flan was absolutely mouthwatering and the perfect ending to the meal.
Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!
Coming from someone that have eaten in Madrid, Barcelona and have a clue about Spanish food, this is not exactly Spanish authenticity.
Food overall is very good, the octopus is very good. Probably the best from what we ordered
Pan con tomate is not good at all. I could say almost that it is terrible.
Tortilla española was not my fave, but my wife loved it.
The empanada was quite good also!
The brunch options are not very Spanish in my opinion. No huevos à la cazuela ? What ? Fried chicken and waffles?
Overall we liked it but it was not exactly wat we expected
Service stated great , as the places started to fill up, service climb down slightly
The pato was really good. Maybe I would make it a little less sweet, but that’s my personal opinion
Is the food worth it ? Maybe the octopus , duck.
The tortilla is clearly overpriced. Eggs and potato …
Went here for brunch and it was a great experience. Our last day in Boston and we are glad we found this place. Everything we ordered was great. Some things were better than others but everything was executed well in my opinion. Octopus, lamb empanada and duck legs were perfect. It’s expensive but it’s high quality tapas. Would recommend
Try to get a reservation here since the space isn’t very big and they can be full even during weekdays.
We got reservations for bar seating on a Tuesday, it was crowded by cozy. The staff was super attentive to us and continually checked in. The food and drinks were amazing.
For drinks we started with paradise and deserts rose. It was so unique that I asked the bartender to make me something with the Chilean liqueur and he delivered an amazing custom drink. We also tried a red wine which was in between a red and rose.
The food is tapas style, we got 5 plates for two people and I was stuffed by the time we left. We got shishito peppers, corn, patatas brava, lamb and pork. The lam was my absolute favorite.
They were out of their signature deserts, I wish I was able to try them. Maybe next time around. They did give us a night cap drink instead so that made it all better.
It is a dim light nice ambiance and queer friendly.
In the heart of the South End, Toro is serving up Spanish-style Tapas in a great atmosphere with high quality service.
We made a reservation outdoors, but because of rain they were kind enough to accommodate and moved us to an indoor table. Our waiter, Michael, was so helpful in explaining the menu and giving recommendations, as this was our first time eating Tapas.
For the uninitiated, like we were, Tapas is small, shareable plates. They have a wide variety to choose from! We ended up getting Street Corn, Grilled Shrimp, Fried Potatoes served up “Bomb Style” with Pork Belly, sauces and fried egg, Cod Croquettes, and Steak. We were pleased by every choice!
Our total with 6 orders, tax and tip was $150.
